Jack is doing great!
Jack had his chemo a day early this week. Tomorrow Dr. Bowman is making his monthly visit to Abilene to do his check up on all the oncology kids. I think the powers at be decided that it was too hard to do chemo and oncology check ups for all the kids in one day. Chemo went well, Jack's counts got a bit stronger this week, they are at 3100. So he is doing great.
Last week his Occupational Therapist retested him to see how his motor skills were holding up and told me that he was surprised at how well Jack is doing. Even though the chemo drugs would typically be slowing all that up apparently Jack is holding his own. His motor skills haven't really improved but the big deal is that they haven't degressed. All of Jack's therapies and Thai Kwon Do are making a big difference. He still has significant strides to make in therapy, but most of the difference and improvement probably wont show until after chemotherapy is finished later this year. At this point it is a victory for him to maintain.
I have run into a couple of people over the last weeks here in town that have been praying for Jack through all of his struggles. We are so fortunate to have so many people praying for Jack. The people who I am referring to here are people whom we have not met before which is the cool part. Thanks to all the people who pray for Jack and our family each day or when you think about it, you keep our family moving forward in a very positive direction. I am thankful that God has put Jack on peoples hearts so much. It's that Crazy Jesus Love! Have a blessed week.
Love, Tammy
